The Shadow Scottish Executive

'With Labour on the march in Scotland, the SNP will have to have to fight like hell to win re-election. But one thing we can say for certain, whatever the Holyrood result: neither of them will be eager to form a coalition with the new pariahs of Scottish politics: the Liberal Democrats.'
